The Royal Welsh Trail Running Festival sees the marriage of two of Wales’ leading event brands, the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society who deliver the Spring Festival, Royal Welsh Show and Winter Fair and Run 4 Wales, the team behind premier running events including the Cardiff Half Marathon.

The Royal Welsh Trail Running Festival will offer up half-marathon, 10km and 3km family trail races at the stunning Royal Welsh Showground in the heart of Mid Wales on Sunday 17th May.

The course takes in a scenic route through farmland and woods and provides wonderfulviews overlooking the iconic showground and surrounding countryside.

The picturesque half marathon and 10k races, run over one and two laps respectively, will take place with all the facilities expected of a top-class event with spectator areas, drink stations and full medical support.

A 3k family fun run takes in the 242m climb to Drws Yr Coed house, where the woodland loop is followed by a re-trace to the finish line and for young children there is a toddler challenge along a flat route around the Showground.

There will also be a come-and-try pentathlon alongside the series of races where participants of all ages can try long jump, shot, step hurdles, speed bounce and sprint.

Race entry gets you an event T-shirt, bespoke wooden race medal and finishers photograph as well as access to the Royal Welsh Spring Festival, making it a great family day out.
